Bug Description

Dear Developer!

When I turning on my Canon ip1800 printer, the notification ballon is seeing:
Missing driver for Canon Ip1800
And after this, detecting my printer for generic text-only printer, but impossible printing any text.
I found a solution works the printer, but possible doing this with natively?

I not trying this solution with Jaunty alpha3 release, but the problem is present (missing driver in the database).
